English Dulcimer Duo, Lewes Saturday Folk Club

The English Dulcimer Duo are Sue Harris & Lisa Warburton, firm favourites as tutors & performers at The World Dulcimer Congress & Halsway Manor. Sue has played dulcimer over the years with many top performers including John Kirkpatrick, her own band Polkaworks, & in the theatre including with the Royal Shakespeare Company. Sue & Lisa's instruments complement each other.

During Saturday and on Sunday morning Sue & Lisa lead an extended hammered dulcimer workshop. Some instruments will be available to borrow - first come, first served.

The English Dulcimer Duo will give us two 45-minute spots and the rest of the evening is filled by members of the audience doing a song or tune if they wish.

Everyone is welcome, especially if you'd like to sing or play. There will be plenty of opportunities for floor singers as well as the main performance. We mostly sing and play traditional music from the British Isles, but we enjoy other styles as well. We always start off with some English dance tunes for anyone with an instrument to join in.

We have a loyalty card. Six visits earn you £5 off an evening when admission is £5 or more. It's £7 tonight.
